Publisher's summary

Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family: her mother Florence is a mega-best-selling author, and her sister Jane is one of Hollywood's top producers. Jane has lived with her partner, Liz, for 10 years, in a solid relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man 24 years her junior. And Coco, a law school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for the artsy northern California beach town of Bolinas.

When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit in Jane's luxurious home, it turns out Jane's house comes complete with an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who's fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn't be more different. The attraction couldn't be more immediate.

Suddenly Coco is seeing things differently: Leslie is not just a celebrity, he's a single dad to an adorable six-year-old girl. Her mother is a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz are about to take the bravest plunge of all - into parenthood.

As Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood's hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed - all bonded by love.

With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.

One Day at a Time

A tender love story about two people from different worlds who fall in love and find happiness under trying circumstances.

Pretty Cute

Thoroughly formula, rather saccharine but lovely. This is the kind of book you want to read to cheer you up or to stop thinking. Definitely listen again

One Day

Typical Danielle Steele. Romantic. Fun. Glamourise. Beautiful descriptive scenery, homes,people. narrative great .A love story.

Hallmark dullsville

Very predictable and boring. No ones fault at all. My preference is more suspense, but felt the need for something more lighthearted after the last few books.

One day at a time

Steel writes as if she is talking to children. I could hardly get through the book. First and last time I will get her books. It's boring and insulting.

Don't torture yourself

I just wanted to slap the main character and cannot believe a whole book was made out of how she was feeling privileged childhood with inherited money to live like a nomad. Boohoo.
Still listened to it all!!!'

One day at a time

Slow moving and lots of repetition. Didn't capture..what's going to happen next. True love story though.

one day at a time

Holy cow what a disaster...probably the worst book i have ever listened to. The ultimate "chick flick". WOW what a disaster.

Difficult to finish

I am having difficulty finishing this book. I read some of Steel's books when I was younger, and really liked some of them (e.g. "Loving") but not others (e.g. "The Promise"). This one was boring and repetitive - you would have one character complaining about something over and over and over and over... I am not sure where the story is going. I am half-way through, and if it wasn't for the pleasantness and sweetness of the narrator I would not even attempt to finish it

Lacks Imagination

A silly, sappy, predictable love story with shallow one-dimensional characters. The conflicts between characters are contrived and there is no real tension. The narrator's voice is cringe-worthy in some sections.
